It’s not only the best game in terms of pure gameplay, multiplayer and variety, it is also quite literally the most technically impressive game on the entire N64, using a 64mb cart and every coding trick in the book. It probably has an hours worth of fully voiced in-engine animated cutscenes (WITH lip syncing). It also has dynamic lighting, real time shadows, real time reflections and more.

You are so full of shit. Conker LITERALLY invented Resident Evil 4. ‘Spooky’ chapter is literally an over the shoulder third person shooter with a laser sight as your only reticle to shoot zombies. Capcom (potentially) copied this 1:1 for RE4, one of the best selling games of all time. That’s how good Conker is.

It isn’t a collectathon at all. It makes fun of them. There is literally one thing you collect in the game which is money. It’s practically not missable.

Conker is my favorite game ever, of all time. I had it when it was brand new and it still impresses me to this day. I sincerely believe it is one of the greatest video games ever made.

Play the fucking game, you’ll love it.

CBFD literally invented resident evil 4 for a few levels of a single chapter of the game lol.

This is one of, if not the first, over the shoulder third person shooters with a laser sight as your reticle. It literally plays exactly like RE4, exactly.

If a technical marvel that invented resident evil 4 by accident isn’t good enough for you, what is?

Tvtropes is written by morbidly obese gigasois with god complexes and transsexuals who think new Star Trek is good.
Conker’s gameplay is why you should choose it over Ratchet and Clank or U R MR GAY. Conker has more variety done better than the both of them. It’s humor is just the cherry on top that puts it over the edge into legendary territory. The fact this tvtropes editor is blinded by the paint job so much he thinks the engine is a gimmick means he has an extremely poor understanding of this entertainment artform.
It’s worth noting that Conker did RE4 shooting combat 4 years before RE4. Literally the foundation of RE4 is just a single chapter of Conker. That’s pretty amazing for a game these faggots can only see as “vulgar humor platformer inferior to MAYRIO GALAXY!”.
The context sensitive actions are extremely meta (allah forgive me for uttering that word). It calls out the absurdity of all video games, fiction, itself, player expectations and manages to be a clever mechanic all in one. They could have just put toilet paper rolls on the map for Conker to pick up, but instead they did this.
There still hasn’t been a video game that does “meta” as deftly and tastefully as Conker.
When you die you meet the Grim Reaper who literally tells you that you need to collect lives in the form of tails and how stupid it is, and how stupid Conker thinks it is.
There are parodies of The Matrix in Conker, which clearly inspired it in other ways.
The context sensitive buttons and other themes are the video game equivalent to something like Duck Amuck.

>4 years before Resident Evil 4

How did they do it?

it was too little, too late to measure up to CBFD

I always thought the Spooky chapter in Conker's Bad Fur Day always stuck out like a sore thumb. The sudden shift in tone was spooky as fuck when I first played it.

Also, this is something that I distinctly remember in the game. Following one of the villagers leads to a point where it'll get to the spike pit and rather than cross safely, will jump to its death. I noticed this on the Xbox port, but apparently it is on N64 as well. I'd love to see someone with the means of doing so rerecord this in higher quality than the video below.
